WHITTEN-ACKERMAN "WAY-AHEAD” 
The selection of fruit trees for planting is a matter de¬ 
serving great care and consideration. 
Be sure to determine the caliper, 
grade and height before ordering from 
any nursery. 
Unless one is experienced in orchard 
planting, the matter of price is often 
the greatest factor considered in de¬ 
termining the source of supply. Before 
buying, learn definitely just what sort 
of trees are being offered. Don’t be 
influenced by height alone. While this 
is a desirable feature, a vigorous root 
system, well developed branches and a 
well calipered trunk are equally essen¬ 
tial. 
TRUTHFUL 
Grading 
We offer 4 to A^/i and ^/l t° ft. 
heights. Some nurseries offer a 4 to 6 
ft. grade, or “specially selected,” 
using small calipered 4 to 5 ft. trees, 
which are about the same as our 
smallest and cheapest trees. Don’t 
be fooled into paying a big price 
for a small tree. 
All of our stock is plainly graded and 
we furnish trees of larger caliper and greater 
height than those offered elsewhere at or 
near our prices. When we tell you that only 
our smallest grade can be sent by mail, the 
greater sise and added value of our stock 
can be better appreciated. The height of our 
bigger grades is too large to meet parcel 
post requirements, necessitating express de- 
livery only. 
Quality is 
Appreciated 
Our reputation for supplying 
quality stock at economical prices is 
established, and our policy of a 
square deal for every purchaser has 
been proven to the satisfaction of 
thousands of Whitten-Ackerman 
customers. Your next order entrust' 
ed to us will prove it to you as well.

Selected Stock 
Whitten-Ackerman fruit trees ate budded from beating trees 
and grown where the snow flies, to make them more hardy 
and superior in quality. 
At the left we show you a bundle of our apple trees. Note 
the heavy root system, straight and smooth trunk and well 
branched top. Plant trees such as these and at the end of five 
years you will have a bearing orchard of fine trees like the one | 
illustrated above. This is a five-year-old Whitten-Ackerman 
Cortland Apple tree, planted on ordinary good soil. Note the j 
bumper crop. 
In the past, there has been an oversupply of fruit trees. 
Now, because of curtailed plantings throughout the United 
States and the drought of 2 years ago, there is a great shortage ; 
of these trees. Supplies will be exhausted long before the end 
of the season. ORDER EARLY! 
Selected Super-Size Fruit Trees 
THE BEST OBTAINABLE. YOU CAN’T BUY BETTER TREES ELSE¬ 
WHERE AT ANY PRICE. Other nurseries charge anywhere from $1.00 to $2.00 
each for trees no older, larger or better. Whitten-Ackerman Super-Size Fruit Trees 
are the pick of the crop. They caliper no less than 11/16 inch, and many consider¬ 
ably over an inch. They run 5 feet and up in height, depending entirely on the kind 
and variety, as some kinds are much larger growers than others. 
Two years old, the same as our smaller grades, but these trees were the strongest 
growers in the nursery rows, with the most pep and vitality. They’ll forge right ahead 
and continue the same sturdy growth when planted in your own garden or orchard. 
PLANT SUPER-SIZE TREES NOW AND SAVE AT LEAST A YEAR OR 
TWO.
